Part 4/6:
The relationship between Musk and Trump took a strategic turn as both faced challenges in their respective domains. Notably, Tesla's sales were facing a downturn globally, and the much-anticipated Cybertruck project seemed on the verge of failure. In a surprising coincidence, Trump announced a plan to procure $400 million worth of armored Cybertrucks from Tesla, a deal that now hangs in uncertainty.
This transaction raises eyebrows, especially given the backdrop of alleged austerity measures that Trump has implemented while looking to cut critical federal programs. Many have pointed to a pattern where Musk’s business decisions coincide remarkably well with the political machinations of Trump, reflecting a deeply intertwined dynamic.
